Editorial Review
Shenk has done a remarkable job. In a relatively short monograph, he has managed to elucidate and evaluate Dobb's writings and, at the same time, open a window on the world in which he lived and worked. While required reading for those interested in the development of Marxist economic thought in the twentieth century, it should also appeal, because of its unique perspective, to anyone curious about radical politics and economics in Great Britain during Dobb's lifetime.
